Huawei recently released the results of its fifth Global Connectivity Index (GCI), which was broadened from 50 countries to 79 and concluded that AI could almost double the value of the global digital economy to $23 trillion by 2025 compared to $12.9 trillion last year when it accounted for 17 percent of global gross domestic product.​ But as nations prep for digital economies driven by the advancements in artificial intelligence, the report also revealed a scarcity of AI developer talent worldwide. According to the GCI study, in order to deploy AI on a large scale, countries need to have three components in place: computing power, labeled data and algorithms. In order to overcome this threat, the study said that governments needed to rethink AI education for workforces by building a collaborative, open AI ecosystem that would attract and retain AI talent.
